"I think that the ongoing development of civilisation along the San Andreas fault is nothing short of bizarre" People do bizarre things. Around here, people started to notice that beach front property is cheap and have built expensive houses near the beach. And they wonder for a while why there are pieces of septic tank and road surface in the surf. And then we get another hurricane... What really gripes me is that they then holler when the state doesn't allow them to rebuild. Texas law states that the grass line to the water is public property, and if the grass line moves... Knowing that, wouldn't you be curious about those circumstances when the grass line moves? You are told this when you buy property that could be affected, it's the law also. But hey, it's so cheap! The people are just too dumb to know how valuable such property is! Morons. Further in land, we have people that put expensive houses on that cheap land close to rivers and creeks. Instead of saying to themselves "why is it cheaper close to this river than further away?", they just go for it. We see them later on the news, sitting on top of their house, waiting for the helicopter to pick them up...
